Bake at 350 for 8 - 10 minutes. I prefer a baking stone for even baking and no dark spots or dryed out places.

    This is a great recipe my Grandmother use to make them, but she would roll dough out to about an 1/8 of an inch thick and cook til right before they started to tur4n brown. Then she would make chocolate cream cheese icing to put between two of them. Kinda like making a sandwich cookie. - 12/14/11
